Go, Read: Yoshito Usui Remembered

There's a nice follow-up article here on the accident-related passing of cartoonist Yoshito Usui. It indicates both the popularity the cartoonist and his most popular feature Crayon Shin-chan, but suggests that like Dennis Mitchell and Bart Simpson, that feature's lead started out as a subject of slight dismay for teacher and parents but eventually went on to gain cultural acceptance, starring in later educational material. The camera story, which I won't repeat here, is also a peach.
